As I understand it, that approach is appropriate for when your widget is 
of "fixed" or small size but inherently renders only a window on its 
world. This is most likely because it's a drawing area for which you are 
handling the expose event yourself. For widgets that fundamentally show 
the whole thing (which is most of the standard ones) you should use a 
ScrolledWindow.
